Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Blackpool
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Leyton Orient
Following back-to-back draws with Exeter and Port Vale, Blackpool will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Leyton Orient on Matchday 4. The Seasiders have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Leyton. Forward Jake Beesley is widely expected to return to the starting XI after he was rested in the goalless draw with the Valiants.
The O’s, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of their first three games of the process and given their shaky defence, we predict that Blackpool are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. To make things even more difficult for the visiting side, defender Daniel Happe is banned for the match following his sending-off in the defeat to Wycombe.
Highlighted Player (Adam Thompson):
Born in Harlow, England on September 28, 1992, Adam Thompson is a defender who plays for Bury in League One. Thompson started his youth career at Watford and after making 14 appearances for the Hornets at senior level, he moved to Southend United, signing a permanent deal with the club in January, 2014.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet on loan as well before joining the Shakers. Adam Thompson has a short loan spell at Bradford City in the 2017/2018 season, but he made no more than nine appearances for the Bantams. Despite being born in England, Adam Thompson decided to represent Northern Ireland in international matches.
He made his debut with the Northern Ireland national team on February 9, 2011, coming from the bench in a 3-0 loss to Scotland. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine showings at right-back as well.
Highlighted Team (Blackpool):
Blackpool FC are a professional English club based in Blackpool, Lancashire. Considering that Blackpool is a seaside town, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Seasiders. Founded back in 1887, the club play their home matches at Bloomfield Road, which can hold up to 17,338 spectators. In the 2009/2010 season Blackpool secured promotion to the Premier League, but they were not competitive at this level, suffering relegation to the Championship the following season.
The club’s biggest success, though, came in 1953 when they defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in the FA Cup final. Blackpool are well known for their orange shirts, but the dominant colour of their away kit is white. Preston are considered the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the West Lancashire derby.
Charlie Adam, who played for Liverpool and has 26 caps for Scotland national team, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
